Eclipse

For this painting, like for all my paintings I use well-seasoned and knot-free wood. Onto this wood I apply meticulously many layers of traditional gesso mixture and polish it to create a surface in a fashion used since the time of Byzantine icons. I rediscover ancient techniques for religious and non-religious topics. "Eclipse" deals with issues of proportion and perspective as well as feminine perception of beauty.
